Life, the Internet, and Everything!

Website Interactive

Websites aren’t something that you can just create and leave the same forever. To create a truly successful website, you have to be educated in web design and keep it up to date. By following the tips in this article you will increase your chances of creating a website that is successful.

When you create a blog you should make sure you actually know what you’re talking about when it comes to the topic of your blog. This sounds like it should go without saying, but you would be surprised how many people don’t follow this piece of advice. Some people just create websites that they think will be a good opportunity to get popular with without actually understanding the subject at hand. By actually sounding like an expert on your website’s particular topic, you will build a good reputation among people who are interested in the same subject and you will be able to build a loyal following.

Open up discussion and make your website interactive. When visitors actually feel like an active participant in your website and not just a voiceless person who reads what you write, they will be more likely to keep returning to your website in the future. Message boards can also be addicting for some people so think about opening one of those.

Sometimes the best route to go for your website isn’t to make a website about a general subject, but something really specific. Chances are that if you’re interested in something that isn’t very well represented on the internet, there are also many other people out there who are interested in that same niche subject. Creating a website that caters to that niche will get those people to take notice of your website and come to it. For example, a website just about music is too general and you will fight a ton of competition. However, focusing on a very specific genre of music can get you a small but dedicated following of people who also love that type of music.

When creating your content, you should look for all kinds of sources to help support the information that you are writing. Online sources are nice but you should look even beyond that. Look for sources that may not be readily available on the internet. By exposing readers to new information that they may not have already seen on the internet a million times, you increase your chances of making yourself known.

Don’t ignore what your competitors are doing. You should always check up on their latest updates to their websites so you know how to compete with them. You don’t want to copy what they are doing, but you do want to figure out how to counter any new features that their websites have. This will ensure that you don’t get left in the dust.

Don’t create just another website that doesn’t try to do anything new. Be innovative and use your creativity to make your website stand above your competitors and you will be a success.

What Are Good Websites For Creating Simple Business Websites? The business I work for has requested that I re-make their business website, since their current contract for their site has run out. The site will be decently simple, and I am looking for an affordable website that will allows users to create websites and offer templates and guides as to how to specifically make the site.

What Are Some Good Websites With Tutorials And Labs On Psychology, Biopsychology, And Oneirology? I would love to learn more about psychology and the science of dreaming, but they don’t offer classes for dreaming at my high school.

How Do I Create A Website In Photoshop? I am new to creating websites in photoshop.
I know how to save it, but what size do I start with. Whenever I save it, the website is HUGE! Can someone give me a size in pixels?
Easy 10 points!
Guys, I know I cannot make the whole website in Photoshop. And yes, that is what a meant, a layout.

Photoshop is actually for creating graphics AND for creating websites. It’s a common misconception that it’s only for creating graphics.

Create your graphic, then save it as a jpg – but from the dropdown menu, choose ‘HTML and Images’ – Photoshop will render the HTML code and the graphics for you. It will place the graphics into an image directory, and the html file will be named whatever the PSD file has been named.

To create ‘sections’ of your sites for tables, use your slice tool to divide your graphic into sections and give it properties , and then use the above method to save your graphic as “html and images’ — Photoshop will then save it as separate images and tables. Then open the html file in Dreamweaver or another editor to add text to that section.

As far as size goes, I’ve always felt the content section is good at 1000 pixels wide, then adding a background to the edges. Nobody has the same screen resolution, so someone is always going to be left out — 1024 is pushing it to the limit, and your user is likely going to have to scroll slightly left and right to see the comple site if you go with that width. 1000 is your best bet. As far as the 5% of users who have 800×600 resolution? Who cares.. ….

By the way — you’ll see a lot of negative ratings on all of these – everyone’s an ‘expert.’ You wanted a Photoshop solution… Regardless of what some of these guys will tell you (including the one with 15 years experience that seems to think a ‘great number’ of people still use 800×600 resolution – laughable), Photoshop WILL save HTML for web. Best web solution? No — but it will get the job done quick…

Comes with free technical support if you need any help getting set up too! You can buy your web hosting from there too – comes with free installation and unlimited disk space/bandwidth. Or you can use your purchased web hosting from another company. Very flexible software!

*** Get Your Domain Name
A domain name is a name you want to call your website. For example, yahoo.com, google.com, wikipedia.org… . To obtain a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. Take into consideration that you cannot buy a domain for life. You get it for a period of one to ten years. If you fail to renew the domain name at the end of its term, the registration of the domain will be revoked and the domain name may be acquired by another party.

*** Choose a Web Host and Sign Up For an Account
A web hosting service provides you with online space. This enables you to get your web pages online at your registered domain name.

*** Design Your Web Pages and Get Them Online
There are three ways to create and get your website online:
1- Some web hosts offer Easy-To-Use Site Builder that helps you build your web pages without difficulty, even if you are not skilled in using any website creating software. Their web builder is a WYSIWYG program (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get). This means that the finished page will display exactly the way it was designed.
2- You can create the pages offline with your favorite program (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Microsoft Publisher, iWeb, etc.), and then upload them to your web host. This is another easy way to get your website online.
3- Frontpage Extensions allow you to publish your site directly from the FrontPage application. This means that you will not have to upload files through FTP, or another method. Microsoft FrontPage is a popular WYSIWYG HTML editor and web site administration tool from Microsoft.

* How to Choose a Reliable Web Host? Where Can You Get Started? How Much Does It Cost?

First, take into consideration that web hosting is a global service. It does not matter what country you are located in; US, UK, Canada, Australia or India. It is good to note that the cost of hosting services in most countries is generally a little more expensive in comparison to the same services in Canada and the United States. Specifically, American web hosts offer a much better value for money than any local hosting.

If you want to start your website, I recommend getting your domain and web hosting plan from the same company. This way, it is often possible to get your domain for free, due to some web hosting services offering a domain as a free gift today. Moreover, these web hosts usually offer a free “Site Builder”’ to create your website without paying any additional fees. By taking advantage of all of the aforementioned services, everything you need for setting up your website is provided just in one hosting package.

Don’t trust dishonest claims like “Best web hosting only $1 /month” or “Get the cheapest web hosting without sacrificing quality and features!!”. Take into consideration that some hosting companies are cheating and lying to their customers. It is very important that your service be uptime (functioning and available for use) . It means you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and users can enter your website whenever they refer to your site address. If your hosting service is not uptime it can be catastrophic!
